PER MONTH ION or WAR GERMANY BY ITALY j Announces Itself Enemy of Former Teutonic Ally ADVANCES ARE HADE IN ALPINE REGIONS |Austrians Are Bombarding Positions Along Isonzo NEW BRITISH LOAN (By Daily News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Aug. 27.—Germany and {Italy at last are at war, Italy having ; finally ended the situation that lias existed for months by declaring that | from Monday Italy considers itself the ] enemy of its former Teutonic ally. The fighting on the Isonzo front is still at a standstill, so far as the infantry is concerned, 'but the Austrians are heavily bombarding Italian positions along the river and at Vallon, In i the Carnic Alps the Italians have taken several Austrian positions, while on the. Trentino front the Austrians are vigorously shelling the Italians.. Italy and Germany have been drifting steadily towards war. In fact, Italy's formal declaration amounts to little more than was generally expected. Before Italy took this step Germany exerted every effort to induce it to ripiain neutral, sending to Rome as ambassador Prince von Bulow, former chancellor and one of the ablest German statesmen. The prince succeeded fofa time in staying war between Austria and Italy and when he saw a rupture "Was inevitable took steps toward preservation of an official peace between Germany and Italy. On behalf of his government he negotiated with Italy a' special agreement, under which, F In case of war between Austria and ' Italy, Germany and Italy pledged \ themselves to respee*. *hp nr^perties and'fives^6t~•their respective^uffjects In each other's domains. Allies Made Demand. According to unofficial reports from Europe, Italy's allies were dissatisfied and at the Paris council of entente powers in February laBt, asked the Italian representatives why their nation was not at war with Germany, Italy already had agreed not to conclude a separate peace, and at the Par- Is conference sanctioned the plan foe a permanent high council of the entente powers for future conduct of the war. The increasing cooperation among the entente allies and the necessity for the bringing into service Italy's surplus of troops, gradually brought Italy into such a position that it became evident a declaration of hostilities against Germany was certain. The first overt act in this direction occurred shortly after the Paris conference. February 28 Italy requisitioned 34 of the 37 German steamships .Interned in Italian ports, to.help meet .the pressing needs for the allies for shipping facilities. Other .indications ,of approachihg war have been observed &n recent weeks. A German court;ruled ,that Italy and Germany were actually, _lthough not formally at war. It, was [reported unofficially that Germany had. [taken charge of the defense of Triest. .A more definite Indication was the severance last month of the commercial greement providing for mutual respect of the rights of each other's sub- beets. The final step was tho sending Jof Italian troops to Saloniki. Italy and lermany severed diplomatic relations [last year. May Have Little Effect. Italy's action will have probably llt- (tle effect in the military situation in jthe immediate future, although as the ■ar goes on it may have a more Important bearing. On the Austro-Ilal- lan front- Italy finds active use for hardly mdre than half Its army and in future can send available troops to any .front. Having committed itself already to the Macedonian campaign, Italy's step is of no moment as respects that theatre of war. Germany '. lereafter will be free to take such part lin the Austro-Hallan campaign as may je decided on by the Teutonic allies, (either in the way of leadership or toy tilizlng Its soldiers when needed. i Advance in Alps. .

FRUITVA CH LE YOURS ER SCHOFIELD BIG RAIL SUM IN U.5. PRIME Break Between Roads and Men Seems Certain WILSON WILL ASK (Continued on Page Two.) Great Enthusiasm Marks Meeting Ad dressed by Conservative Candidate for Trail Riding. (Special to The Dally News.) FRUITVALE, B.C., Aug. 27.—One Of tho most enthusiastic meetings ever held at Fruitvale was that addressed by J. H. Schofield last night in the school house here, practically every elector being present to hear an ae count from Mr. Schofield of his work at the last session of the legislature and also to hear from him convincing proof of who the so-called "hlgher- jps" were In connection with tile plugging at Vancouver. In spite of the fait that tho Liberal speakers who have come up from the coast to tbe interior have spent practically all theirvtlme in endeavoring to lay at the dt*>rs of the government ttle reffpoimlbiiit^ .for the plugging at the byelection in February, Mr. Schofield produced abundant evidence to show that these satne Liberal lenders were the guilty persons. Mr; Schofield also pointed out the chaotic situation in which he said Mr. Brewster was trying to place the province, by Issuing his iienr-fainous Brewster writ, in an endeavor to demoralize the business of the province for political purposes. The speaker also asked for tlie support of the electors of Fruit- value, relying upon their knowledge of his own untiring efforts aw a, member of previous legislatures to advance the interests of his constituents. in support of Mr. Schofleld's candidature, R. C. Crowe of Trail also spoke reviewing tlie many progressive and businesslike acts of the last session of the legislature under the leadership of Hon. W. J. Bowser, showing to the apparent satisfaction of the audience that it was an administration, based on sound business principles and with the best business interests of tho pro- ince solely at heart. In support of his contention in this respect, he outlined briefly several of the acts placed upon the statute books during the short period of Mr. Bowser's leadership of the government, before dissolution, referring particularly to the workmens compensation act, which he declared was of vital interest to every workman fn the province; tho agricultural credits act, of immediate Interest to the farmers, and the acts in aid of shipbuilding, mining, lumbering and other industries of the province. In contrast to this business administration, he pointed out that the Liberal leaders who had come all tho way from Vancouver had done nothing but criticize the government, particularly Mr. Bowser, but had failed absolutely to mention anything of a Liberal policy, If, he sold, sueb a thing existed. A. Bush, the chairman, noticing Harry Wright, former member for the riding, who was in the audience, asked him to nddress the electors, which he did, being greeted with henrty applause. Mr. Wright pointed out to the electors that in his opinion a better man to represent them ut Victoria than J, Hi. Schofield could not be found. The candidate, ho said, knew each one of them personally and also knew every foot of his riding and its needs. Three cheers were given hy the audience for Mr. Schofield as the meeting ctosed, whicli gave ample assurance that on Sept. 14 Mr. Schofield would be returned as the representative for tho riding as far as the people of Fruitvale were concerned. Both Sides Will Confer With President Today (By Daily News Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—Tentative plans for a joint session of the senate and house to hear President Wilson ask for legislation to prevent the threatened nation-wldo strike were discussed by the president with Senator Kern, Democratic leader, tonight, when It seemed virtually certain that a break between the railroads and their employees must follow final conferences at the White House tomorrow. Possibilities uf legislation were talked of by the president with Senator Newlands, chairman of the Interstate commerce commission, nnd Senator Lane during the day, and tonight tlie president made a trip to the senate office building to find Senator Kern, who was attending a meeting of the finance committee. Since last; night the belief has strengthened that the tension be tweeu the railroad executives and env ployees has been growing. This belief whs confirmed today, when (140 members of the brotherhoods, tired of their long wait, departed for home after delegating their powers to effect a settlement or call a strike lo a committee of 24. Unless the railroad heads recede from their demand for arbitration of the eight-hour day proposal, one brotherhood head said tonight, a strike affecting about 400,000 men ..wl.l...be. called within t'he"hcxt 10 days. Confer With Wilson Representatives of both sides will confer with the president tomorrow. The executives of the lines will present the plan to which they agreed finally yesterday. Its outstanding feature is a demand for arbitration of wages under the eight-hour day or any day. When they departed the brotherhood heads, acting under instr iction.! received from the committee of 640, will go to the Wiilte House and apprise President Wilson that they caanot accept arbitration of this feature of their demands, and that they stand on his proposal made a week ago, to con- cedo the eight-hour principle and arbitrate the other Issues. What will follow no one attempts to forecast accurately. There was a report tonight that the president might ask the men to postpone action for a period, In order that he may seek legislation to provide for a settlement without tieing up tho country's transportation facilities. Plan for Strike At today's conference consideration was given the problem of keening the railroads In operation In the event of a strike and as to how far congress could go In extending federal authority over the railroads, Among the presidents and managers here the opinion prevailed that the proposal of the men would not be accepted by them and that, there was no concealment of the feeling that if President Wilson has no other suggestion to make a strike is coming. Tho railroad brotherhoods at a mass meeting here today authorized 24 officials,. Including presidents, vice- presidents and heads of some of the larger locals to continue official negotiations in Washington with President Wilson and the railroad managers concerning the threatened strike of 400,000 trainmen. The rest of the 640, brotherhoods' representatives will leave Washington for their homes as quickly as possible to prepare' for a strike order If no proposals are offered to meet'their demands, which are satisfactory to the 24 officials, If no agreement is reached here trainmen's officials declare the strike would be ordered at an hour already agreed on and which is reported to be some time Friday or Saturday.

(By Daily News Leased Wire.) LOUISVILLE, Que., Aug. .27.—The French-Canudians are doing their duly In the matter of helping the allies to a victory, in spite of an impression to the contrary created by newspapers for which It is necessary to agitate in order to keep up circulation, is the opinion of Mr. Blondin, minister of inland revenue, who spoke at a large meeting organized by the Montreal Young Conservative association here today. The minister told his audience that he knew of two battalions at Valcartier which were commanded by English- speaking officers and which had 1,20(1 French-Canadians out of a total strength of 1,400. Thousands had gone at the outbreak of war, he said, not waiting for the formation of Canadian battalions and had gone to the front with Hrltlsh and French regiments. Many bad been enrolled hi English- speaking battalions. The minister pointed out that there were many reasons why French-Canadians .should not have been expected to do as well as they have done. They are almost a purely agricultural people, among whom the idea of war is a foreign thought. They have been bo long in Canada that they are not related by ties of blood, that they are aware of, to people in France, as English-Canadians are to people In England and there is .therefore, but one country which is home, and that is Canada. Compared with the rural population of other parts of Canada, he thought that the French-Canadians were doing their share. In addition to this, they all cheerfully bore the extra burdens of taxes placed on them ln common with all other Canadians for war purposes.

Business that may perhaps be regarded as the best of the season was transacted at tho local market Saturday morning, when a record breaking quantity of produce was shown and disposed of at good prices. There was an especially good display of meats, the feature of which was the veal and the bacon, both these products being far above tho average tpiality. Fowls and broilers were in good demand with a plentiful supply and sold at 25c per pound for the former and 30c for the latter. There was a large assortment of fresh vegetables, of exceptionally fine quality. These *all sold readily, the stalls being well cleared before the morning's trading came to an end. Corn was offered at 30 to 35 cents per dozen ears. Peas and beans sold at three buckets for a quarter. Eggs went to 50 cents the dozen In dozen lots but sold at 45 cents in larger quantities. Plums, peaches and cherries were plentiful and brought 25 cents per basket, and $1 per crate. Tomatoes were 15 cents per pound.

FRENCH VIEW OF SIR DOUGLAS HAIG PARIS, Franco—The British offensive has roused to an almost unprecedented degree, the interest of the French people in the British armies fighting on French soil, and especially in their commander In chief. M. Henry Bercnger, representing the Matin, having spent two days witli the rank and file of the British army, visited Sir Douglas Haig's headquarters for the special purpose of giving the French nation some impression of the British general and his methods and views. M. Berenger was received not only as a representative of the French press but as a member of the French parliament. He found Sir Douglas Haig and his staff established in an old house of Plcardle whicli they share with tbe French owners. The British general Inspired M. Berenger with confidence. He has, he says, that air of directness and quiet straightforwardness which belongs to all true leaders of men. In his account of the Interview M. Berenger speaks of the great work performed by the British commander and his staff in preparing for the recent offensive. He considers that the headquarters staff of the British army has not been sufficiently appreciated by French public opinion. It consists, he continues, of two services, the one devoted to the carrying out of military operations and served by a splendid secret service department; the other dealing with the administrative work of a great army. The officers of the staff compare well says M. Berenger, with those officers with whom General Joffre closely collaborates. The conclusion to which the French parliamentarian came after having conversed with Sir Douglas Haig and received the explanations which he so readily and simply gave, was that the technique of tiie Brltsh headquarter stuff waa quite .equal to the heroism of the British troops. M. Berenger gives prominence to Sir Douglus Haig's declaration that the decisive action of the war must take ;place on the western battlefield. It Is there that a peace must be imposed which wfll be' worth having, for the price which l\ demands will have boon paM tW Process of Penetrating German Lines on Somme Is Told of in Reports of Press Representatives LONDON, England—The allies north and south of the Somme, at the time of writing, are hammering at the "crust" of the German defenses, and it is held that the most difficult part of their advance ls now being made. Later, when more open country Is encountered, it Is the belief that the advance will be quicker. One result of the German effort being concentrated in their first line Is that when big guns have been withdrawn from their prepared emplacements, their new positions aro more easily detected by the aeroplanes. The process of penetrating the German "crust" where every village was a fort. Is described by the special representative of the British press witli the French forces, in a despatch relating to the French advance south of the Somme on July 1. While on the French left, north of the Somme, the Iron Division was capturing Corfu, he says, in the centre the colonial corps was advancing with a dash and brilliancy worthy of its high traditions. The country in which the colonial corps was fighting was far less hilly than lhe sector north of tlie Somme. The principal obstacles to its advance cunsisted of the fortified villages of Frise, Dompierre, and Assevillers, as far as tbe first German position was concerned. The reports ns to the effects of tho artillery preparation on Dompierre were, most satisfactory, and the colonial troops were ordered to carry this village, but stringent Instructions were given that they were not to do more than anprnaeh Frlse and Assevillers. so that there might be no danger nf their getting too far ahead nf the rest of the lino. On the left and on the right tho French troops carried out the task 'assigned to them with nn great difficulty, establishing themselves on the southern edge of Frise and In tlie neighborhood nf Assevillers. Tn the centre tlie village of Dompierre was carried In less than two hours. Tts houses were mounds of powdered bricks, its church a pile of powdered stone not more than 10 feet high, and, apart from the remains of the church scarcely anything In tho village was more than five feet above tlie ground, On July 2, the colonial corps continued Its advance. Herbecourt was taken nnd Frise was found deserted, with an abandoned field battery in its ruins. On the 3rd the progress contin tied along the south bank of the river as far as Sormont Farm, opposite Ciery, Assevillers and Flaucourt were taken. From this moment a change began to come over the operations. The first symptoms that the monotonous hammering of trench warfare might be nearing a conclusion became apparent. After the first day's attack the whole of tlie .French artillery, including even heavy howitzers, began to gjrjvjiuce,.. For tjip .first time since •fi™#»#i Wi8lWfli pruns were jrefuafry.ln the open/wltliout prepared emplacements. The enemy, too, had no emplacements for his batteries, and tlie work of the aeroplanes in spotting their positions became far easier. After the capture of Flaucourt, a regiment of colonial cavalry had its chance. Patrols galluped out in all directions, and one sergeant, carried away by tlie enthusiasm of feeling himself once again on horseback, rode Into Belloy, which was still held by the Germans, and riding hack under heavy rifle fire, brought in valuable information. The next day the Foreign Legion captured Belloy, and the colonial corps, not a little pleased at having taken 3000 out of tiio 5000 prisoners captured during the first assault, set to work lo organize tho conquered ground, It may bo doubted if the public liave any real conception of tbe labor that ibis organization involves. A force may capture a German position in the evening and must tn begin with prepare itself to repel counter-attacks. Machine-guns must hastily lie set in position and communications established witli tiie rear. In ihe night, when the position of the French infantry is not exactly known to tho gunners behind, it is no easy matter for the "75's" to open that barrage fire which will break a counter-attack. With tho aid of flares, rockets and telephone, however, the artillery succeeded throughout the Somme offensive in giving valuable protection to tlie infantry even at night, The telephone is ail-important. The wire goes forward behind the waves of assault, unrolled by a telephonist who accompanies the artillery observation officer In the advance. Since July 1, the French have so far laid down in the captured territory over 400 miles of telephone wire, and even so the organization is far from complete. For the heavist guns and for a continuous supply of ammunition, railways must be moved forward and across the captured trendies. In the Somme, the French are -splendidly provided with 24-lnch gauge light railways, which wander In every direction about tlie country, and come almost to the front line of their old positions. It was hoped that it might be possible to repair the German lines and link them up, but it was found that the enemy was far less well provided in this respect than the French. The Gorman lines were only of 16-lnch gauge, such as the French use actually In the trenches themselves; and their trucks were pushed by hand and not drawn by engines; consequently the French have had to build fresh lines across the conquered ground. In the Somme, as soon as a village Is taken, a chemist is sent forward to test the water in the wells. With him there goes an expert gang of well-sinkers, who, wherever necessary, set to work under the German shells to provide tho troops with an unfailing supply of pure water. It was found that as a rule the water In the Somme villages was bad, though it has been possible to use the old wells after a thorough cleaning. Another important task, which requires days for its accomplishment, is the discovery of good observation posts for the artillery. Tlie mending of the ronds cut up by trenches and riddled with shell holes, is in itself a superhuman labor. In these circumstances, It ia hot surprising that progress should be slow, and the Only wonder Is that it should be possible to go ahead so fast. j tt ftfta' inmim tli&t the Eisjjjjjj £onf. ter should attack simultaneously with the British and the French left wing on •Inly 8, but in view of the bad weather lhe attack was postponed till the following day. It resulted in the capture of Biaches, and was followed up on the tenth by that of La Maisonnette, a small eminence overlooking Peronne. The French right wing, composed of the thirty rfjfth corps, attacked on .July 1. simultaneously witli the French centre, carrying Fay and reaching tlie western edge of Estrees. On the third, the French artillery was concentrated on Estrees, which had been particularly strongly fortified by the enemy. On the fourth the one hundred fifty-third division carried what was left of Estrees, and so far as the right wing was concerned the first phase of the advance was concluded, INDIAN PRESS AND IRISH DISTURBANCES CALCUTTA, India.—Indian public opinion continues to take the most lively interest in the Irish rising and its sequel. As has been mentioned more than once, the educated East Indian traces a certain resemblance between the Nationalist claims of India and tiiose of Celtic Ireland, and the Impulsive attempt on the part of the Sinn Fein party to assert those claims by force of arms was followed in India with feelings in which amazement at the folly of the rebels and pity for their rashness struggled witli an obvious tendency to sympathize with their ultimate objective, - Not that the Nationalist party In India are in tiie least anxious to repudiate the British connection. The war has made It clearer than ever that they are practically solid in.desiring to remain a part of the Britisli empire, but they are equally solid ih declaring that their position within the empire should be on all fours with that of Canada or Australia. From this point of view the Indian) press of Calcutta, which is the mouthpiece of Indian Nationalists, has, during the past few weeks, devoted itself to reflections upon the Dublin tragedy and how it might have been avoided. ■ The moral which It draws, from Mr. Birrell's evidence in particular, is that England's persistent refusal of home rule generated in Ireland a feeling; of bitterness which no subsequent concessions were able to allay. The policy of concession, says the Bengalee, the ablest of the Calcutta In-,; dian papers, has come too late in Ireland. It sorrowfully quotes Lord Rose-' bery and Mr. Lloyd George on the frequency with which the words "too late" have had to be inscribed upon- the ef- forts of British policy, and asks, "Must the same legend be written over the history of British India?" The Indian Nationalists are evidently determined that, when the imperial system cornea to be overhauled at the termination of the war, the claims of India will not lapse b'y default. The Leader, an Indian newspaper published at Allahabad, which has been distinguished ever since its Inception for its moderation and the breadth of Its outlook, feels it Its duty to utter a warning to the rulers of the empire in this connection. Tbe war, it points out while it lias revealed the essential loyalty of the East Indian peoples, will not leave them where it found them. There will he trouble if, at the close of the struggle, India is placed in a position of inferiority to tlie other dominions. Her ideal is self-government within the empire, on lines analogous to those obtaining in the colonies. Speech of Bishop Doull Garbled End Does Not Justify Means ADVOCATES OF 1!. C.

He allowed the pluggerbund to assume the real leadership and cinch its control of the Liberal organization in the province. Desire for political advantage rather than the Interests of the province, weakness.rather than strength, dictated every blunder. TRADE FIGURES TELL PROSPERITY OF There is small comfort for the pes- slmists in Canadian trade returns. Tiie total trade, exclusive of coin and bullion, in July was 1224,224,197, agdinst $85,123,910 in July of last year. Duty collected for the month was nearly $1,000,000 greater than for July, Hik,' and the total of exports for the 12 months ending with July ex.-'-edod one billion dollars, or more than double the total for tho previous l: months. One of the most gratifying features of the trade returns is that the heavy Increase last month is due chiefly to growth of exports of agricultural pro> duce and manufactured goods. Canadians are doing more business in the aggregate and per capita than at any previous time in tho history of the country. Railroad returns an greater, bank deposits are higher, pro duction of manufactured and raw material is larger. ven" of "tWe*T>b>r^f! drew'tlie pralke press. • His opponent, J. E. W. Thompson, has nothing to offer of a constructive nature for the development of Grand Forks district and its industries. His campaign is purely one of abuse of what the government is accomplishing. BREWSTER AND THE CREDITS BILL FARM The Liberal speakers declare that the farm credits bill should have been put into effect earlier. The reason the government did not do so was that money could not have been obtained at. a reasonable rate of interest. The government did not propose to burden the farmers with interest charges they could not meet and it followed the businesslike policy of waiting until the money market was favorable. The result is that today a farmer can borrow $1000 for a term of 36% years at a total cost to himself of $36 every half year. The semi-annual payments of $36 pay off both principal and interest. But how does Liberal talk compare with Libera! actions? What did H. C. Brewster do on March 14? On that, day he tried to exact from Premier Bowser a pledge that he would not commence distribution of agricultural credit loans if the opposition would not fight the passage of a bill to settle the expiry date of parliament. With the hope of gaining some political advantage the Liberal leader attempted to postpone indefinitely the issuance of loans. What did ;he ca,re for the interests of the farmt-frsjttf he could ,help his party? But Premier Bowser stood to his guns and the credits com-*j mission is now paying out loans. It is lucky for the Germans with*the retiring habits in East Africa that the last of the kaiser's colonies is large in area. The Bowser workmens compensation act is admitted to be the best in the world. The return of the Bowser government will leave It in safe hands. Franco-British forces on tho western front are pressing nearer to the open country in whicli they may be able to use the cavalry which is held in reyerve behind their lines. Tho Bowser government is progressive. It does not believe in sitting still and wailing about hard times. The results of its businesslike policy are already becoming apparent. Prohibition and woman suffrage are not political issues. The electors will vote on both questions on Sept. 14 apart from the vote on candidates for the legislature. . , Through its control of Dutch fishing boats Great Britain is now able to say virtually how much fish the Germans snail eat. Surely it is time for Germany's "victorious" navy to act. The kaiser's sister Sophie will not find it as easy to convince the Greek people that Greece should bo overrun by Bulgarian soldiery for the benefit of Germany as It was to convince King Constantino that Ills salvation lay in supporting the Teutons. After all the disturbance that the Vancouver Sun and the Liberal speakers kicked up about F. W. Welch and the soldiers vote in England it must have been a cruel blow to have the allegations denied by the Liberals' own representative in the mother country. t GERMAN EFFICIENCY. !♦»»♦» »»-♦♦+-♦♦ »«»»•»* No nation can long be called efficient which fails to advance the general life of humanity. As the war drags on with Us ever-increasing wake of ruin and irreparable loss, Germany is fast losing her "place in the sun" and stands as the "horrible ex- ample" of utter failure along the avenues of real world service. That she is powerful no one can deny; but that her strength Is of the eternal type s daily becoming more doubtful. In a sense she has been efficient, but for fundamentally wrong purposes; and unless the unexpected happens, she Is bound to undermine her own foundations and find herself less respected and both morally and physically weakened than before the conquest of Alsace-Lorraine, The war has progressed sufficiently far for one to turn the light of truth bn German efficiency in the actual field of battle. Where is her boasted superiority? Most people think she has done surprisingly well as a lighting unit. Tlie facts warrant an entirely different conclusion. Boasting of a marvelous secret service, and apparently prepared for a world war, she can never be called efficient in the face of her gross underestimation of brave little Belgium. Apparently expecting triumphal march through Belgium and a speedy attack in force at the most vulnerable spot in France, this great "machine" was held up a whole month by the despised Belgians, giving France and her allies an opportunity to marshal their strength and prepare for the conflict. Hnd Germany foreseen the immense strength of the Belgian national spirit, it is "almost certain that she would not have struck when sho did. Surely such short slght- edness can never bo called 'efficiency What was Germany doing when she failed to understand the tremendous mora] and physical resources of the French nation? Living near,, neigh b'or to France for centuries, besides having innumerabe sides throughout her epemy's territory, Germany apparently, only counted fortifications and noses. Her philosophy was a wild confidence in steel and liquid fire and she clearly disparaged the greatest military asset of the world—the morale of any people. No doubt German military leaders expected a short, sharp conflict and then a victorious peace. Behind her siege guns she fired shot and shell into the invisible, indefinable and Indestructible soul of France, and wondered that the war lasted so long. She had left'tliis major war out of her calculations and then attempted the conquest of soul with Krupp guns and poisonous gas. (Think of Germany's blindness with regard to England. Great Britain had been the butt of German jokes for 40 years. According to Prussia she was slow and notoriously lacking in dash and enterprise. But slowly awakening out of her lethargy she now holds with bulldog tenacity 15C miles of French trenches, and is growing stronger every day. Her colonies contrary to Germany's calculations, are absolutely loyal to her, and although revolt was actually allowed to break out In Ireland, the Nationalists, to the chagrin of Germany, with no uncertain sound, have stood, firmly and fought bravely against .Britain's ..foes.'; Germany fail* erl t6'undorstatnd the temper of England, The two countries are entirely different iu spirit and Prussia apparently looked only on tiie materialistic side of Britain's defenses and failed to estimate the wonderful loyalty whicli prevailed throughout the British Empire.—New York Outlook. One of the features of the southern interior people, as found in the trip which Premier Bowser and his party are now concluding is their growing feeling of optimism. Really British Columbia is going ahead with leaps and bounds; And it is no boom either. Greatest progress is being made In the mining districts. Many old mines are being reopened and are worked profitably. Lead, zinc, gold, copper and silver properitse are producing. Metal prices are excellent. Hundreds of men are employed 'in the mining camps of Kootenay and "Boundary that a couple of years ago were dead. Money is plentiful in the mining sections. Agriculture Is picking up. The Okanagan orchards are in fair shape, the fruitcrop will be as large as-last year and 'prices will be better. More vegetables are being grown and more livestock too. Other agricultural sections of the southern interior are in the same condition. Lumbering, which was quiet for a long time, is being rapidly revived, and all those mills which can get logs and 'men are working double shifts. ■ When the wooden ships, built under the new shipbuilding act are doing business the coast millmen will export across the Pacific, and the mountain millmen will have the prairies to themselves. The prices they are getting this year for lumber average a dollar a thousand feet higher than for tho past eight years. -^ Prairie farmers who are anticipating good returns from grain crops this year, are turning their attention to B. C., and no doubt quite a number will come out here this fall to engage in various businesses, or to retire. Railway lines of the southern part of the province are carrying a good deal of freight, and railway men get satisfactory cheques eacli month end. Let us be thankful the days of real estate boom are gone, and for a long, long-time let us hope. We are getting now that cheerful optimism that comes to those who are really doing something.—Penticton Herald. .LIBERAL PROPOSAL WAS TO CUT DOWN ROAD WORK One of the Liberal cries now tha^(an election Is only about two weeks distant Is that the government has not built enough roads. They speak of the value of roads as a means of communication for ranchers, business men, tourists and others and endeavor to give the impression that if they had been in power a great deal more work of this nature would have been done. Just how insincere the Liberal claims are may be judged by the at tltude of the opposition in the legislature last session. When the estimates for roads, bridges and trails came up the Liberals opposed every one of them. They urged that every one •should be cut down. If the Liberals had been able to con trol the estimates the appropriations for road work this year instead of being greater would have been less. And If they could have forced dissolution on March-14, as. they attempted to do, not'one cent would have been available for public works or anything else. That is the position of the Liberals as far as road work goes. ITHE HONOR TO MR. ROGERS, TTHE RECORD OF WATERFRONT t WADE. f MILLER-CAN DO MORE FOR HIS RIDING THAN THOMPSON In Hon.

Just now Berlin announces a great scientific discover"/ of the process of making paper from cotton stalks. We liave been all through that^, We liave had our government scientists for years supposedly experhnenting with the manufacture of pa-per from cotton stalks and corn stalks and other things. The value of these discoveries so far seems about equal to that of the numerous hopeful cheap substitutes for gasoline.—New Haven Regis- Created an Industry. Had it not been for the efforts of the government, fruit growing in.the interior of British Columbia would have been today in the same primitive position that exists in the older tilled sections of the coast districts. The money spent by the government has been well spent. It has created an industry. It. has made a people prosperous. In estimating what the Conservative government in Victoria has done for Brjtish Columbia, consideration should be given to the constructive policies of Premier McBride and his successor in the agricultural development field.—New Westminster Columbian. Not a Liberal Victory. Perhaps with the idea of misleading the unwary, the Calgary Liberal paper .spreads out on Its front page the announcement that the "Liberal candidate Is elected in S. W. Toronto." As a matter of fact, the Liberal candidate was not elected. Hartley Dewart was not the Liberal candidate. If there was any Liheral candidate in the S. W. Toronto by-election, he was Gordon A. Waldron and he received only 131 votes Instead of being the Liberal candidate Dewart not only opposed Powell's "banish-the-bar" policy, but he actual lv had the combined opposition of the two Toronto Liberal newspapers, the Star and the Globe, the .former of which endorsed the Socialist rather than accept Dewart as a Liberal candidate. Why then, attempt to mislead the public by seeking to convey the impression that the "Liberal candi- d'atd" ■.was elected-.-In Toronto? Dewart has'been a'tlb'eral, but he was not "the Liberal candidate" in this by- election.--Calgary News-Telegram. The honor conferred upon the Hon. Robert Rogers by the Union of Canadian Municipalities and the warmth of the reception given him by the members is accounted for by the fact that Mr. Rogers is the real leader in the agitation for preparedness by Canada for the peace that is drawing nearer and nearer with every shot that is fired. If Canada should be found napping when the mililions begin pouring out of Europe looking for new homes, it .will not be Mr, Rogers' fault, for he has persistently and consistently pounded until ho has created something of a real awakening. It is to be hoped his energies will not be exerted without bringing all of his colleagues to see the chance that is coming. All honor to him for his courage and his intelligent view of our great opportunity! If he persists with that energy so characteristic of him, It will not be long before he has every public spirited man" in Canada at his back, and he will have the satisfaction of having led a movement that will raise Canada to a new elevation.—Montreal Daily Star, The Sun informs tlie public that the Conservatives desire its destruction "before it can carry out any coups of tho Songhees Matson variety." Mr. Brewster has had an opportunity in committee to investigate the Songhese reserve sale, and we know how much he made out of it when all the facts were presented. Unfortunately, Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper was never able to get the Investigation that he earnestly desired into the Yukon operations of Mr. Fred Waterfront Wade, now editor of the Sun. But Sir Charles has put on record some of the facts and evldehce of a few of these transactions to only one of which we have yet called special attention, Mr. Wade's attacks on other journalists and public men Invite attention to his own record. At present, however, we make only this quotation from Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper. It will be found in Hansard, 1900, .page 7,136. ..-...;. .• a-:---'! ../,'Mrt Wadetat the time held a number of offices. Hc'was connected with the Dominion Lands as general registrar; he was clerk of the court; he was crown prosecutor,. and he filled various other important positions. This man was undoubtedly, as far as I can see in the record and as I am informed, in the pay of two men who wished to make a large sum of money, and if the information and the evidence be correct, these men did make a very good thing, and were able to pay Mr. Wade, out of their profits, a very large sum. In" short, by paying $30,000 to tho government and about $10,000 to Mr. Wade, to induce him to break the law of the land and to become a crini' inal subject to indictment, they made $120,000 or thereabouts." This refers to the waterfront affair. The matters of the John C. Barr and the steamship Yukoner are other stories concerning which the charges and reflections of Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper are conveniently on record. We may say that they are equally interesting—Vancouver News-Advertiser. Proverbially it is not well to count your chickens before they are-hatched, but it Is hard to ignore the signs of victory In the west. The Germans will never know the absolute truth until the censorship is abolished. When they do know it things will begin to happen Jn Berlin and other great centres of German population. It is significant that there should be talk in,] Berlin just now of abolishing the censorship. The conquest of the air on the Franco-Belgian frontier seems to be fairly complete, and for want of reports from their aviators, the German forces are literally groping In the dark. For a German aeroplane or balloon to show itself over the French linos Is to invite almost destruction. The German troops on the ground are said to be blinded by the incessant cannonading, and their gunners have nothing to guide them in their aim. They have to fire west by south at everything in general and nothing in particular. They are like the Scotchman, who being discontented with the general run of things, stood in the middle of the road and "swore at large." In every attack upon the British or French their losses are appalling. The German Lying Department is really unable to cope with the situation. It can only pooh pooh the losses and claim that the British and French losses are still greater. Even if this |,were true, which it is not, the awkward fact remains that the entente allies can afford to lose more than man for man nnd still march on to absolutely certain victory. The frantic development of frightfulness, the defiance of the United States and the modification of their claims in the way of peace terms, all go to show that the Huns realize that the game is up. Even the weather is against them. The unfortunate gunners cannot dig themselves into the low ground cannonaded by the allies from the high and dry hills, without standing in water up to their necks. The blockade gets tighter than ever, and no censorship can conceal the fact from the half-starved people of the fatherland. Then the fact that the successful attacks by the French have not been followed promptly by counter-attacks, is "rightly regarded as significant. Time is now so thoroughly on the side of the allies that there is no occasion for hurry. They can afford to wait, being in the enjoyment of ample rations and constantly increasing supplies of ammunitions. The Germans are naturally in a greater hurry, because not only the German people, but the German troops are being stinted in food. This kind of thing is not good for the morale of the army, and no wonder that when the officers swear their men never to surrender they chain them to the guns to prevent them from doing what some German officers have been known to do—break their parole.—Montreal Herald. • ♦♦-»♦■♦■♦♦-♦-» !

Ashworth Anderson, assistant campaign manager of the Liberal party in Vancouver has made this statement: ' 1 was very much disappointed that M r. Brewster's amendment requiring each voter to sign his name on a register at the polls was voted down by the government. That would have provided un easy and absolute check against pluggers. If, after three months' endurance of this unnecessary disappointment, Mr. Anderson will examine the act passed by the legislature last session he will find that the law requires each voter "to sign his name on a register at the polls." This "easy and absolute check" has been there all tho time and will be available on election day.

CAPT. HENSHAW ADDRESSES LARGE AUDIENCE AT TRAIL (Special to The Dally News.) \ TRAIL, B. ('., Aug. 27.—Work of the Red Cross and the Canadian Army Medical corps was the subject of an illustrated lecture delivered by Capt. Julia W. Henshaw here last night, before a large and attentive audience. : Capt. Henshaw's talk was rendered more vivid by means of 100 ujhoto- graphs taken by herself in tbe hospital zone in France, which were thrown on the screen. Views of the various Canadian field hospitals, showing their equipment and the nurses attached to them were shown as well as a number of splendid views of "Tommie" on the firing line and In billets, whicli gave a good idea of conditions as they actually are at the front. Capt. Henshaw made an appeal for funds with which to purchase socks nnd various articles Which it is impossible to make and 'send to the hospitals in France from the home land. Socks, she said, were the greatest need at the front, and too many could not be obtained. She stated that every 25 cents contributed for this purpose would place a pair of excellent woolen socks on the feet of some soldier and urged her hearers to add cash donations to the gifts they were making by hand. Capt. .1. M. Vigneux, who served for a year in British field hospitals in prance' made an appeal for men for the ambulance corps now being formed at Vernon and with the aid of a diagram illustrated the work of the Army Medical corps In bringing the wounded from .the first line trenches and in caring for them.

(Special to The Daily News.) CRANBROOK. B. C, Aug. 27.—J. H. McVety, president of the British Columbia Federation of Labor, addressed a meeting of the members of the Min- er.s' union at Kimberley Friday evening on compensation acts of.the past and th workmens compensation act which will come Into force January next. He gave the history of workmen's compensation since its beginning in Germany many years ago; showed how the acts passed in England, Germany, United States and Canada had not met the requirements they were designed to meet and that the good points in each of these countries' acts had been incorporated in the new act to come into force at the beginning of the year. Mr. McVety took exception to the statement that the compensation act had been stolen from the Liberal platform by the Conservatives, as stated by the former, and wished it distinctly understood that all the credit was due to the British Columbia federation who aided in getting the act to it.x present state uf perfection. He stated in passing, however, thnt all the members from the mining districts including Mr. Caven from this district, gave him their support in his efforts to bring the new legislation before the legislature. He stated that, in the case of Mr. Caven having given assistance, It was nothing more than lie expected as Mr. Caven is a man who has always been Identified with labor questions and always ready to assist in any movement which tended toward the betterment of labor condition's. The manner In whicli a man who required the attention of a specialist would be got Into touch with such specialist wa.s thoroughly explained by Mr. McVety and very much appreciated by liis listeners. The man requiring special medical or surgical attention would either be furnished transportation to tbe specialist or the specialist would be brought to the man if the latter was unable to travel, even if the specialist lived in Montreal. The act provides for the giving of artificial limbs without charge to those who had through accident, lost a limb. Mr. McVety stated that the government bad gone farther in one respect than It had heen called upon to do ln the matter of providing fully for pre- ventio nof accidents as well as' taking care of those who are victims of accidents. All of the various clauses and benefits of the act were explained and fully discussed in a clear and comprehensive manner so that at the end of the discourse Mr. McVety was given generous applause. • .John Taylor, secretary of the Miners' •union at Kimberley who acted in the capacity of chairman, thanked Mr. McVety on behalf of the members,of the union and asked the audience to asjc any questions which they might wlsjft to ask. Several matters were discuss*? ed informally with Mr. McVety'by. the LIEBKNECHT APPEALS FROM ;■ & RECENT PRISON SENTENCE {By Daily News Leased Wire.) y .

Scotland—This year's meeting of the Society of Chemical Industry has taken tiie form of a conference on the progress of chemical industry since the outbreak of war. Trade developments on those lines were demonstrated in an exhibition held in conjunction with tbe meeting in Edinburgh, -showing dyes, glass and porcelain products made by new methods in the last two years, The conference dealt chiefly with the use and misuse of coal and its 'by-products, it was asserted that to use raw coal merely as fuel amounted almost to wanton extravagance, as when it was so used half its virtues went up tlie chimney, or into the ash pan. In his presidential address, Dr. Charles Carpenter, chairman of the South Metropolitan Gas company, .pleaded that tho slate should give a more prominent place to physical science In national education. He urged the need for a round-table conference on the utilization of the nation's food supplies. Coal, he declared was their most Important capital asset. Should its developments and utilization he left unrestrictedly to individual*, or groups of individuals, or .should it be subject to state supervision and control? Had not the time come when the raw "coal exported should pay substantial duties to the slate, and every user at home required to satisfy the authorities before he could obtain quantitative licenses for its consumption? Should pot the combustion of raw coal lie prohibited in their cities and towns? Tn these and other questions there" wa'a"*urgent*1h*a- terial for immediate governmental consideration. Prof. it. E. Armstrong <London) criticized the neglect of physical science In the schools and universities and regretted the appointment at tliis time of a senior classical scholar and cleric to the headmastership of Eton, and the appointment of a poet as chairman, and alecturer to women on literary subjects as n member of the advisory committee appointed to Inquire into the teaching of natural science. In opening a discussion on the economy of fuel, Professor Armstrong asserted that to use coal simply and directly as fuel was morally Indefensible on account Of lhe wastes of by-products involved. Not only was coal dear and difficult to obtain, but there was an absolute shortage of liquid fuel and a serious shortage of the dyestuffs made from tlie various products of the destructive distillation of coal. The potentialities of coat were such that they might well memorialize government to prohibit the use of raw coal as fuel. Early In the war, he was told, such use of coal was prohibited in Germany. If gas and soft coke were to be the fuels of the future, the town gas industry would neerivcomplete reconstruction. The appointment of a central national fuel boojd seemed desirable, and he propugtfd a small lax on coal to provfdjrjfyjjeceasary funds for Investigation, Prof. Henry Lewis (Newcastle) spoke of the waste incurred In various ways at the collieries and said that while he believed that the con.1 of the country rightfully belonged to Individuals, at the same time It was a national asset and its right use ought to be insured. To this Dr. Carpenter added that as much coal was used or wasted In getting coal as was used on the railways of the United Kingdom. It was an extraordinary thing, he said, that while investigation and experiments were going on to obtain nitrogen, millions of tons of coal were being burnt with Its coal nitrogen absolutely wasted, LONDON, England—After the Franco-Prussian war of 1,870-1 the fanners of England under the leadership of the Royal Agricultural Society established a fund for providing seed corn for the French peasants in the invaded areas in order thai they might provide crops for themselves. The fund then raised reached about £52,000, which was distributed through the medium of the French local authorities and afforded valuable assistance of a character and at a lime when it was urgently needed. Today, (he English farmer is again exerting his generosity towards the French small farmer and once more the Royal Agricultural Society has established a fund, this time for the assistance of Belgian, Servian and Polish peasants, as well as to those of the devastated regions of France. The Royal Agricultural Society inaugurated its fund a little over 12 months ago. and in addition to having raised £85,000 in cash, it has distributed stock, seeds, and implements to the deserving farmers of France to a value of many thousands of pounds. The invaded districts, or such of them as have been recovered since the battle of the Marne, have been visited from time to time by prominent mem-, hers of the committee which administer the fund. Among them have been Lord Northbrook (the chairman of the executive committee). Mr, Adeane (the honorary treasurer), Anderson Graham Percy Hui'd. S. Kidner, together with representatives of agricultural interests throughout England. These visits have been made with the object of obtaining practical information on the spot as to the more urgent requirements of the community, and it is in accordance with their recommendations that the consignments of such material help us has already boon given was made. All who have had the privilege of visiting the devastated districts of France have been impressed, first of all with the dominant quality of determined industry in the face of disaster shown by tbe peasants. The patient energy appeals forcibly to the English people, und farmers of Great Britain have come forward with willing holp to restore and reestablish such a deserving people to a condition in which it shall be possible for them to earn a living by their own exertions. In England it is recognized that but for tlie British navy and for the hindrance which the French and Belgian peasants offered to tbe advance 6'f the Germans nearly two years ago and the sacrifices which they then made might have been inflicted also upon English farmers too. Moreover, it is realized that the struggle for the deliverance of Europe and for the continuance of the British Empire is taking place not upon British farm lands hut upon those of the brave allies of Britain. That fact emphasizes lhe moral obligations upon the British farmer to help his allied brethren. The fund formed by the Royal Agricultural Society of England is under tHg patronag-e of His Majesty the King. Tne'*orike bf Portland accepted the presidency of the movement, whicli is now known us the Agricultural Relief of Allies fund (16, Bedford square, London, England), and an executive committee was formed representative of every branch of farming activity In tbe country with Lord Northbrook at its head as chairman. That committee at once got to work, and between July and December of last year the committee distributed, in implements alone, 15 drills, 20 binders, six threshing machines, 40 harrows, 50 plows and 20 Canadian cultivators. Shipments of livestock hkve been made from time to time. King George set an example by giving a pen of five rains, and many other breeders contributed freely so that over 00 were sent out and placed on the farms. There have also been sent 11 boars, some goats and 3000 head of poultry, ducks, rabbits, etc., which have proved of special assistance to the small peas ants. In March there were shipments of 2000 sacks of seed oats and 8000 sacks of seed potatoes. When the allied armies begin to clear their opponents out of the regions of France, Belgium, Serbia and Poland which are now under their yoke, the committee will lie confronted with an immense task. But it is relying upon the cooperation nf British farmers and is confident of Its achievement. Its object la to restore, as far as may lie. tbe agricultural industry in all the districts which have suffered by invasion. CANADA SENDING HOUSES TO FRENCH MONTREAL.

(5690) TELEPHONE RATES NOT UNREASONABLE Washington State Commission Finds That Earnings Are Far From Excessive. OLYMPIA, "Wash., Aug. 27.—The State Public Service Commission has handed down its findings in regard to the rates of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company. This matter has been before the Commission for two years, during which time a great mass of information regarding the husiness of the company has been made public. The aggregate earnings' of exchanges were found to be far from excessive by the Commission, and in no particular exchange was the rate found to be unfair. „ The Commissioners' opinion is that the present rates of the toll charges are not unreasonable under the existing conditions of plants and traffic. The report of the company's condition shows that its rate basis, or the fair, valuation of its property ln the State, is $19,382,209. From this $208,- &G8 is to be deducted, since the company has shown that this is the value of the property as unused and useless. The annual exchange rentals for Individual business wall.sets in the three principal cities of the State, are: Seattle, $90; Spokane, $72; Tacoma, $72. CHEMISTS, ADVISE "storing OF NITRATES NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y.—As an immediate need in the plan of national preparedness, the president and the past presidents of the American Electro-Chemical society will urge that the government provide Itself with 18 months' supply, on a war basis, of Chilean nitrates. This recommendation Is made in a report that the electro-chemists have made to the president, the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy. It was made by Francis A. I. Fitzgerald, president of the society. The chemists point out to the government officials that the processes for the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen are not yet thoroughly developed and none of them Is yet ready for the government to adopt In connection with its proposed $20,000,000 nitrate plant. The chemists recommend that no subsidy be extended for the development of any process, but that private interests be encouraged to develop the best process by competition. As a means of encouragement the chemists urgo a more liberal policy In regard to water powers, since the fixation processes depend on cheap electrical current for their development. DEMOCRATIC LEADER ARRESTED SOFIA, Bulgaria.—M. Liapchieff, leader of the Democratic party In Bulgaria and formerly .minister of finance, has been arrested by order of the Bulgarian government for having published two articles criticizing the budget, especially the enormous estimates of expenditures.

MR. M'KENNA AND WAR SAVINGS WEEK LONDON, England—Mr. McKenna, the chancellor of Hie exchequer, has addressed a letter to the chairman of the National War Savings committee in reference to the war savings week: The National War Savings committee, he says, is to be congratulated on the date chosen for war savings week. The thoughts of the whole nation are directed across the Channel where the greatest military effort in the history of our country is now being made. This is no battle of a day or two, but is the beginning of a long, patient and arduous offensive demanding from our soldiers heroic exertions and unlmagin-., able sacrifices. Aro we at home content to be mere spectators of this wonderful effort? War savings week brings to the civil population at home a corresponding opportunity which is at once a duty and a privilege. The greatest financial effort in history is needed an offensive not of a day or two, or of war savings week only, but long, patient and arduous, demanding rigid delf- denial jind personal services from all. "the weapons of finance are the government securities which are open to subscription by all classes. ; The larger exchequer bonds are our heavy artillery; Postofflce exchequer bonds and war savings certificates are' our rifles and hand grenades.' The Central committee of war savings and; the War Savings association are the staff of the financial army, a nationwide organization directing the personal service which, by increased productivity and avoidance of waste, brings together savings, large and small, for the nation's use. | There are not enough goods and services for war purposes unless civilians refrain from all unessential demands,1 We must take as the sole criterion of right spending, not preconceived standards of comfort or luxury, but -health' ami efficiency. Extravagance aiufy waste are treason in war time; .indlf-. ference, is a crime. Personal example is oil - important. Wn r savings week Should bo the culminating point of tl|e organizing work of the war savings committees. Let the nation go forward from this point towards final achievement, civilians at home joining With our fighting forces on land, and sea in carrying through a combined offensive that will bring all our resources to bear on the dieomflture of the enemy, ■ .au.^!A«, Energy Do you know that a pound of bread will produce more energy than one pound of meat or cheese, but you surely know which is tiie cheapest when you get 1C loaves for a dollar.

KUKUI NUT OIL FROM HAWAII MAY RIVAL LINSEED • HONOLULU, Ihtwaii—Extraction of kukui oil from the luikui nut may soon be a revived Industry in Hawaii, Periodically Superintendent A. T. Longley of the territorial marketing division receives an order from the mainland for the oil, which he cannot fill. Now it looks like business in the Kukui line. A Japanese promoter is consulting with Mr. Longley about starting a plant at. Kona to extract the oil, but has no press. Mr. Longley is trying to find one, for he believes there are big opportunities in the oil business. "The demand is in the states, the supply is here," he said, "but no one is utilizing this supply to fill the demand." Mr. Longley says kukui oil is similar to linseed oil, valuable for Its drying properties in 'paints, and it is from paint manufacturers that most of the .inquiries have come for samples of from one gallon to a barrel. "We don't have to send our kukui oil to the main- ;landr however, the industry is large enough to supply the demand here. The linseed oil which is shipped in here amounts to thousands of gallons every year," says Mr. Longley. "If the fcukui oil wero used here in place of linseed oil, freight to Honolulu on the ■linseed and to the states on the kukui Would he saved." As early as 1850 kukui oil was extracted in the islands -by a rough process and sold for about 50 cents a gallon. It now brings 90 cents and ¥1. For some reason the industry has declined until there is hardly any of the oil to. be had in the islands. SUSPENSION OF PENSIONS » ROME, Italy,—According to information obtained by the 'Giornale d'ltalla from people qualified to speak on matters concerning Italian emigration, the recent decision of tho German government to suspend payments to Italian subjects, whether due as 'pensions or otherwise, is not of such serious consequence as would at first itppear.. ■■... Before the outbreak of war from JGO.OOO to 180,000 workmen emigrated to Germany yearly. These mer', who .were-mostly navvies, miners, woodmen and bricklayers from Friuli, Veneto I'hnd Abruzzo, with a few from Ro- ■ttriagna and the province of Caserta, found work in Alsace, Lorraine and the Westphalian mines. Upon the outbreak of war numbers of these laborers returned to Italy, and a few months before tho Italian intervention :|he. remainder were officially advised -lo leave Germany. The majority of ttiem did so, so that by May, 1915, the number of Italians residing in Ger- many had'been reduced to about 40,- Excursion Fares wSw Interstate Fair ^•H^F^ Spokane, Wash., Sept. 4 to 9 Fare and One-Third Round Trip FROM ALL STATIONS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA MIDWAY, REVELSTOKE AND EAST ALL STATIONS IN ALBERTA Daily Service, Including Sunday, with Parlor and Dining Car Service ON SALE SEPT. 2 TO 7 RETURN SEPT. 12 Slocan Passengers Make Better Time Via Kaslo and Kootenay Landing TICKETS AND DETAILS FROM ANY AGENT OR WRITE J.

Part of the pensions due were paid into Italy, and it is calculated that Germany expended 2,000,000 lire' annually in pensions to Italian workmen and their families. The payment of these haw now been assumedb y the Italian government. There is also good reason to believe that a large portion of the savings of Italian workers deposited in German hanks has been withdrawn in time, so that on the whole the German measure would not seem to be of far- reaching consequence.

The average increase in the. retail prices of food1 since tlie beginning of the war is about 01 per cent. Comparing Britisli prices With those of Berlin, the board of trade stale that a slight fall (1.7 per cent.) was registered in the general level of retail food prices in Berlin during May, according to the returns published in tlie Prussian official journal, Statlsls- clie correspondent. As a result tlie percentage rise since July, 1914, in May stood at 116, as against 119.S in April. In calculating these percentages allowance is made for the relative Importance of the various articles of food in working class consumption. Meat was so scarce in Berlin in May that a system of rationing was put into force similar to that already In operation as regards- bread, flour, butter, sugar, and potatoes. With regard to Vienna, a further rise of over 4 per cent in retail food prices in that country is shown by the figures for tlie month of May, published in tlie official journal, Warenprisberiehte, the general level being thus brought up to 128 per cent above that of July. 1B14. Compared with the preceding month, seven articles out o fthe fifteen shown in a table increased in price (the Increases being most marked for margarine, pork, and eggs) and eight remained as in April. As compared with prices prevailing immediately before the war, all articles, except potatoes, were dearer. Sugar had only advanced by IS per cent, but on the other hand, margarine cost four times, and beef, pork, bacon, and lard over three times as much as in .July, 1914. WOMEN HELP FARMERS LONDON, "England—The employment of women on the land appears to be getting more popular with farmers, The register Inaugurated by the board of agriculture is proving exceedingly helpful.

The women who are specially In demand at the present time arc those who will lake a course of training and give full time work on the farms lo the end of the war. In Sheffield hundreds of munition workers spend their spare time -in the fields helping with the hay. The women are paid at the rate of 4d. an hour and the men Od.

HEN ENJOY WORK AT VERNON CAMP Description of the Life Under Canvas Is Given by Member of the 225th Battalion. The following letter describing conditions at the camp at Vernon has been received from a member of the 225th battalion: The weather in camp is hot during the day and we are all pleased when the evening comes along as (hat Is always cool. All members of the 22lith are looking well and bronzed and there Is little sickness in camp. Most of the men are away on harvesting leave and the camp at present is somewhat deserted. "We are now settled In our new camp on the ground which was previously occupied by the Western Irish. Our colonel is away and the battalion is at present under the command of tho adjutant, Capt, Barries, who oways has a. kindly smile, for officers and men which 'helps some.' "Lectures on bombing take place daily and there Is also a class held for 'non-coms' under Sergt.-Maj, Coffin from the Royal School of Instruction, Work Point barracks. A great improvement lias been noted since the men have received bis valuable Instruction. iLieut. B. A. Wilson has just been appointed machine gun officer tor the battalion; this is a popular appointment. Lieut. J. Cartmel has been appointed musketry officer and we feel certain lie will do well. "As al transport officers for overseas battalions have been cancelled Lieut. B. G. Rennie of Nelson has beoii given tho command of a platoon in the Nelson company. When tho men return from harvesting they have to learn fully all about bayonet fighting which Is hard work but excellent training. Two Mascots. "All tbe officers turn out for 'physical jerks' at 7:30 o'clock every morning an hour after breakfast. Every man in camp is up at 5:-30 o'clock. 'Snookie,' our mascot, a black bear cub, is growing quite a size. We have another good friend, known to all as 'Mike,' our popular colonel's dog, a thoroughbred Irish setter. 'Mike* guards his master's tent during his absence. "We arc often told we have tbe prettiest battalion colors of tiie brigade. They are red, yellow and blacK, and are also the Belgian colors. Our Hag looks fine and it is worth a trip to see our motto in stones painted white he- low the flag post with a huge maple leaf painted green surrounded by the name of the hattallon and a 'big elk head mounted by the flag post. Behind this Is the colonel's and the adjutant's tent, witli a flower garden surrounding each. Good "Grub." "We have a fine canteen, the best in Vernon and the Y.M.C.A. tents and headquarters are next to us. Our grub Is good and so are our cooks, so we havo 'no complaints.' Pte. Rankin, well known in Nelson, has transferred to the motor boat patrol service, also Pte. A. D. Wooler has gone. He went with the Western Irish, where he has a nephew. He will lie remembered as 'Salvation Jim' or .lim Hubbard of the 'Trail of '98.' "Our band Is away on leave until Septem-ber 16. It has done remarkably well and is a credit to the battalion. Our bandmaster, Sergt. Warner Smith, had the distinction of acting as brigade bandmaster on the occasion of the brigade headquarter.s' 'at home,' at which all officers and many local people were present and which was a brilliant afralr. Before long we are expecting to have the finest regimental band In the west. The boys are working hard and show great Interest in their work as the the results show." ;; Social and Personal \ Harry Wright of Trail Is visiting the city and is a guest at the Strathcona.

"Honor's Altar," with Bessie Barriscale, at the Gem theatre today and tomorrow is a play with a strong moral. It illustrates in a convincing manner that there is good in the worst of us. Also, that while one may have gained material prosperity and have become inflated therefrom, the eyes of the world see through the pompous- ness and appraise us at our true value. The story deals with a man who imagines he has outgrown his wife. He Is brought sharply to a sense of his own meanness. The Keystone comedy on the hill is "■His Auto Ruination" and Charlie Chaplin In "The Fireman" completes the program. MINNESOTA LEADS IN IRON AND POTATOES MINNEAPOLIS; Minn—In an article contributed to the Journal, Governor Burnquist says: "The slogan, 'the bread und butter state,* which has for several decades been applied to Minnesota, does not do justice to our commonwealth. This term was applied to our state because it has for many years taken the lead ln the quality of the butter and flour produced within its borders, but Minnesota Is also a great producer of other products. There are at least two in which our state last year led all tho others, and both of these came from northern Minnesota. Minnesota has for several years produced more Iron ore than all the other states combined. Last year it also took the lead as a potato growing state, the total being 30,210,000 bushels. The great bulk of the potato crop waB grown in the counties north of the twin cities." Fuel IT IS NOW TIME YOU WERE CONSIDERING PUTTING IN YOUR WINTER SUPPLY OF FUEL.

C. m NEARLY DM AT COTTONWOOD DAM Dorothy Whitmore'Owes Life to Pluck and Presence of Mind of 14-Year' Old Mary Moore. Two girls had a narrow escape from drowning Saturday afternoon in the pool above the dam on Cottonwood creek, just behind the skating rink, when Mary Moore, aged 14, attempted to rescue Dorothy Whitmore, aged 10, who had ventured out of her depth, and was drawn under by her struggling companion. : The girls wero two of a party In charge of Mrs. W. Moore to go swimming in the pool above tho dam, which is deeper than usual as additional planking has heen added, It is said that while the water in the pool is for the most part, comparatively shallow, Lhe sand in tlie bottom has been scooped out Into deep boles by the undercurrent. It was into one of these that Dorothy Whitmore sank while trying to swim the length of the pool. Reeling herself going under, she screamed for help and although she states that some boys were swimming nearby, thoy apparently did not hear her. Mary Moore, seeing her plight, plucklly went to her assistance, but by the time she reached her the struggling girl was sinking for tlie third time. in her struggles she dragged her rescuer below the surface with her and it is believed that only for the presence of mind of the Moore girl while under water, both would have been drowned. Mary Moore states that when she felt herself drawn under, she waited until her feet touched bottom and then pushed herself and her companion in the direction of shallower water and in this manner succeeded in reaching solid ground N Mary Moore states that the pool is a most dangerous bathing place for any but good swimmers. She says that as she went down she threw one hand straight up over her head In hope o fattracting tho attention of the boys and that whe nshe reached bottom the water was over the tips of her fingers, In many places the girls declare the water is hut waist.deep but that the bottom is! full of holes, many of them from six to eight feet deep.

PARIS, France—The principal event of July 14 in Paris this year was the military review held on the esplanade of the Invalides, On the morning of tho great national fete day Russian and British troops, including Canadians and East Indians took up their positions facing the Hotel des Invalides. The French army was represented by engineers, chasseurs a pled and Algerian sharpshooters, and the Belgian army by lancers, cyclists and gunners. On the opposite side of the esplanade the mounted artillery was drawn up, with the dragoons, the Annamltes and the "fusiliers marlns." On the Alexandra III. bridge were posted several detachments of French troops from the front and the St. Cyr cavalry. At 8:30 General Duball, the governor of Paris, with his staff, arrived, followed a few minutes later by the president of the republic, who reviewed the troops, while the bands, including that of the Scots guards, played the Marseillaise. Following on the review the troops marched to the Place de la Republique. On the Champs Elysee, the Place de la Concorde, the rue Royale and on the boulevards an enormous crowd had gathered which was only with difficulty kept back by the territorials, who lined the route. As tho troops passed flowers Were thrown from the windows and the cheering was continuous. The greatest enthusiasm, however, was shown when the procession reached the Place de la Republique, where an Immense crowd had gathered. The centre of the place had been reserved for a number of soldiers from the Red Cross establishments. SIR THOMAS PRICE RETIRES. CAPE TOWN, South Af rl ca— Sir Thomas Price, whose retirement from the South African railway hoard was recently announced, arrived in South Africa 36 years ago to take up a position as a district traffic superintend-, ent on the Cape government railways. At that time the total mileage of tho railway systems of South Africa was less than. 1,000; today It has increased tenfold, and Sir Thomas Price has been the initiator of the great developments which have taken place and has also taken a leading part in their execution. Whereas in his early days in South Africa the northern railway limit was tlie Orange river, the systems now extend to the Congo ahd Limpopo, and, as Sir Thomas explained recently, it is now possible to cross the southern half of the African continent by two rail way routes, one from Beira by Sails "The Cool House With tho \ Welcome."
